A 1989 944 S2, that is. Damn quick, especially for the price, but he's gonna be hurting on the maintence costs... I think h:

 

944 turbo or plain old 944?

either way, ive alwasy wanted one h:

 

says 944 S2. not turbo.

 

NA... 208hp@5800 rpm... he paid 6K for it, and it only has 150K miles

 

i have one in my garage :wiggle:

 

S2 is much cheaper to maintain than the Turbo... but it's still fairly expensive. tell him to check ebay for parts before he shells out money for parts else where.

ever seen the topgear episode where they each by a old porsche and put them through different tests? the 944 was the second most reliable...

 

I always wanted a 944 for some reason. Post some pics of it

 

Boxster /= 944

Daddy's car /= "your" garage
